Goo Hye Sun Defends Against Branded Shoes Accusation

In regards to the viewers’ criticisms on her poor girl role in “Boys Before Flowers” covering with branded goods, Goo Hye Sun has made an explanation during a recent interview and stated that “the truth isn’t as such”.

Goo Hye Sun explained : “There were recently some viewers who accused me of using branded products, which does not match with the poor living conditions of Geum Jan Di in the drama. However, the truth isn’t as such. The leather shoes that appeared in the Macau scene was bought from Dong Dae Mun. And it only costs 10 thousand Won per pair. Owing to the story’s needs, we bought two pairs.

Shortly after the broadcast of the scene where Jan Di broke her shoes, some netizens commented on websites that Jan Di’s shoe was actually a Christian Louboutin, a French brand that costs over a million won in Korea. They proceed to criticize Goo Hye Sun and the team on their lack of consideration for these details.

Goo Hye Sun said: “Although Geum Jan Di is an ordinary girl, but she isn’t a girl from a poor family. The original manga of ‘Boys Before Flowers’ was a product of the 90s, it is adapted into a K-drama only now. Hence, discrepancies between the different eras will definitely be present. Moreover, I would discuss with the coordinators of the team everytime I received props (apparels, shoes etc) from the sponsors, to determine if they fit into the character’s personality and status.”

but it is true that she wears some extremely expensive clothes for a daughter of a family that is in so much debt.

she says that she’s not from a poor family but they are in debt and they don’t seem to be doing very well with paying it off…so practically she is poor…well her family is but she’s not…i guess.

her clothes are quite expensive too…like the addidas hoody she wore probably cost $110+ and all the colonize hoodies which really adds up…i mean if her family can’t afford to eat meat…how is it that she can afford to wear these clothes?

it’s not criticizing it’s just the production team/stylists should really think about these things and make it match her situation. we don’t expect her to wear ripped up dirty clothes but she can’t be wearing all these expensive clothes/accessories either…it just wouldn’t fit…unless it was given to her by goo joon pyo of course. =D

i really thought korean drama viewers would be used to this whole poor-girl-wearing-expensive-clothing thing since it’s happened numerous times before. I suppose this criticism is just coming with the drama’s extreme popularity -___-

it’s so stupid to even have this kind of issue. did it ever occur to people that those addidas, nike and the likes can be fake? i mean come on….poor people love to wear branded shit too. that’s why they buy the fake cheap ones. in this drama, it could be the case. it can also be that those clothes were hers even before Jan Di’s family became poor and indebted. there could be tons of rationales. i’m definite of one thing though. only the narrow-minded has issues against this.

i never thought they could spot a less stuff supposed to be and became a odd issue for her. im very proud of their eyes..so sharp..hehe..well, though some of her apparel or footwear may have not been matched to the character she is portraying it is indeed doesnt matter to me coz what i splendidly appreciate is the flow of the story and the way she handled it.Why dont they just mind her acting ability than spotting a little mistake on her outfit. its not eventually her fault to have it but the staffs who commanded her to wear those. honestly, im not really a solid fan of her but i enjoyed the acting she showed in the drama. nice job girl.!!!!
disregard those accusations is the best thing you can ever do.For time will let it pass by and they could forget it all the way..
